    A cheap alternative to Bostick and Sullivan brand. It works just as well but be warned you have to mix it yourself. Use distilled water and measure the amount and youll be fine.

    I have already done some cyanotypes and they turned out beautiful! Product says it has a long lasting shelf life. A little goes a long way so I think this amount should last me a while.

    This is great for anyone whos curious about cyanotypes and wants to give it a try. the chemicals are easy to mix - just fill each bottle with water and mix a bit to make sure the powders are dissolved. after that, just mix a capful of each together to coat your paper and youre good to go.

    New to this process and this set was easy to use with great results. I did not know when purchasing that the bottles are filled with powder, so you must fill them with water and wait 24 hours before being able to use them. I wanted to use them right away, but worth the wait.

    Works quite well. Cyanotype is a very old and established process, and Id expect almost any kit to work just fine. This one does. If youre having trouble with spotty coatings, its probably either because you arent mixing precisely enough, and are leaving unreacted reagent, or your paper may have impurities. It may also be that your coating technique needs work. Consider ordering find glass stir rods, and looking up Mike Wares coating technique. Bear in mind that many of the little spots you see will disappear once youve exposed and developed. Always rinse 15 minutes for any print you plan to keep long term, as this will help it last much longer.

    Worked great! I bought it for my high school art students and they read the directions and figured it out by themselves. It worked great for them.

    This took a really long time to get to us, but it was worth the wait for my 8 year old and I. We had a great time printing negatives on transparency paper and then making some super pretty cyanotypes on watercolor paper. This is a super easy and fun process that we really enjoyed together.

Cyanotype Set-- Component Set for Photographic blueprints on paper and fabric. Cyanotype is the “original” sun-printing process, one of the earliest photographic techniques. Discovered in 1842 and distinctive for producing rich, Prussian blue monochromatic prints, Cyanotype was popular well into the 20th century as an inexpensive method for reproducing photographs, documents, maps and plans (hence the enduring architectural term “blueprint”) and famously, for making impressions of biological specimens in the field (“photograms”). Harness the power of the sun to make detailed prints from virtually any object that casts a shadow: tools, toys, plants, leaves, stones, sand, string, lace, etc. Simply place the object on the sensitized surface and expose to sunlight (UV). Use a digitally-printed photographic negative (an inverted black and white photo inkjet-printed onto a transparency*) instead of an object to create full-resolution photographs on paper or fabric. Great for photographers, mixed media artists, printmakers, quilters, kids and more, the cyanotype process is easy, forgiving, quick, magical and fun. Capture the nuance of every shadow—a fun group activity for any age!
